polysaccharides are just many individual sugar units (monomers) linked together to form a polymer
for example, starch/cellulose is nothing but glucose attached to more glucose attached to more glucose..so in this case the glucose is the monomer and the starch is the polymer

do you own HW!!
monomer aka glucose, combine to form polymer aka polysaccharides like starch, glycogen, cellulose

building blocks (monomers) are polymerized to form macromolecules=nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, polysaccharides
